Forced to use public transportation, I’m always surrounded by hundreds if not thousands of people wherever I go. It is not like they want to stand, sit or even lie down beside me! It is just they are forced to bear with my co-existence all because of our jam packed public transportation.

Thanks to these hundreds of people I bump into each second, I learnt and learning a lot of things from them.

The one main thing I learnt in public transportation is how to be patient.

As I’m typing this, I have about 5 students who are going back from National Service training to their respective hometowns for Thaipusam holidays.

I must tell you, I have found that all 5 are severely suffering some some-sort-of ear disease. To express themselves they are need to shout their lungs out! I really can’t find any good or even “bad” words to describe this bunch of monkeys. ^&%^5*%%*$%#*!!!!

I wonder what type of upbringing they went through since day ONE on planet earth. Even my most imaginative part of the brain fails to imagine what type of parents they had or the community they grew up in.

Unfortunately these kids are same RACE as I am, it is very saddening to see these future leaders of my community so uncivilized and shouting cuss words at each other in a public domain.

God save us all.

Parents, if you do not know how to raise a kid, please stop breeding!

As much as I hate the blog about politics,but I have to say this.

Post-Hindraf rally,or the so-called political awakening  of Indians,many Indians have come forward to voice out their opinions through Blogs and now Facebook.

Thanks to the “setup” in few mins registration for Facebook and Blog,everyone seem to find their 30 seconds of fame on the World Wide Web.

Before the rally,we can count the number of famous Indian bloggers with our hands. Post rally,even calculator gets confused in calculating the number of politically awakened people debating from Karl Marx to Kangkung Kirai** on new media such as Facebook.

The problem with the wave of awakening is, most people still do not know they have awaken into another dream world altogether!

To sum up all the mess in one line, everyone is talking and no one is listening. This fairly relates a quote I read on the Net years ago :-Opinions are like assholes. Everybody has one!

And the beauty of debating is, he or she ( but mostly its a HE anyway! The SHE(S) are very much busy with their work! ) will keep on logging onto Facebook just to release their load of tension on the Net.

1. Got stuck in traffic jam? Blame to government
2. LRT was late? Blame the government
3. Boss scold you? Blame the government
4. Lunch not tasty? Blame the government
5. Had stomaches? Blame the government
6. Girl friend did not SMS ? Blame the government
7. It rains when you are going back home? Blame the government
8. ________ fill in the blanks and please blame the government.
9. Got nothing to blame? HAA!! That means something is wrong but we do not know it yet! So still blame to government!

Of course the government has its shortcomingslah, who does not? But bitching on the Internet certainly does not contribute a single cent in solving the problem. It is just wasting precious bandwith from TMnutNET. Pinpoint the problems and give the solutions.

Try to help in the betterment of the society. If cant just leave it. Let them do their work.

Let us not open our mouth just because we have one. Dogs do that,not humans.

Thats my barking for the day. woof!

Ok, the biggest question of ALL TIME,how to control you life?

Well, let me tell you frankly,IT IS NOT EASY! Life is not a TV box to be controlled by a remote. Even todays  hi-tech TVs are very hard to be controlled of! What is life compared to a man made TV !

Most of the time,we are NEVER in control of our life,or the lives of people surrounding us.  Life is just set of different things which happen around us and how we react to it controls our life.

Let me share you are very interesting theory with you. It’s called 90/10 principle.

What is this principle?

10% of life is made up of what happens to you. 90% of life is decided by how you react.

What does this mean? We really have no control over 10% of what happens to us. We cannot stop the car from breaking down. The plane will be late arriving, which throws our whole schedule off. A driver may cut us off in traffic. We have no control over this 10%.

The other 90% is different. You determine the other 90%. How? By your reaction. You cannot control a red light. but you can control your reaction. Don’t let people fool you; YOU can control how you react.

Let’s use an example. You are eating breakfast with your family. Your daughter knocks over a cup of coffee onto your business shirt. You have no control over what just happened. What happens next will be determined by how you react. You curse. You harshly scold your daughter for knocking the cup over. She breaks down in tears. After scolding her, you turn to your spouse and criticize her for placing the cup too close to the edge of the table. A short verbal battle follows. You storm upstairs and change your shirt. Back downstairs, you find your daughter has been too busy crying to finish breakfast and get ready for school. She misses the bus. Your spouse must leave immediately for work. You rush to the car and drive your daughter to school. Because you are late, you drive 40 miles an hour in a 30 mph speed limit.

After a 15-minute delay and throwing $60 traffic fine away, you arrive at school. Your daughter runs into the building without saying goodbye. After arriving at the office 20 minutes late, you find you forgot your briefcase. Your day has started terrible. As it continues, it seems to get worse and worse.

You look forward to coming home. When you arrive home, you find small wedge in your relationship with your spouse and daughter. Why? Because of how you reacted in the morning. Why did you have a bad day?
A) Did the coffee cause it?
B) Did your daughter cause it?
C) Did the policeman cause it?
D) Did you cause it?

The answer is “D“. You had no control over what happened with the coffee. How you reacted in those 5 seconds is what caused your bad day.

Here is what could have and should have happened. Coffee splashes over you. Your daughter is about to cry. You gently say, “Its ok honey, you just need to be more careful next time”. Grabbing a towel you rush upstairs. After grabbing a new shirt and your briefcase, you come back down in time to look through the window and see your child getting on the bus. She turns and waves. You arrive 5 minutes early and cheerfully greet the staff. Your boss comments on how good the day you are having.

Notice the difference? Two different scenarios. Both started the same. Both ended different. Why? Because of how you REACTED. You really do not have any control over 10% of what happens. The other 90% was determined by your reaction.

How do you react if someone cuts you off in traffic? Do you lose your temper? Pound on the steering wheel? A friend of mine had the steering wheel fall off. Do you curse? Does your blood pressure skyrocket? Do you try and bump them? WHO CARES if you arrive ten seconds later at work? Why let the cars ruin your drive? Remember the 90/10 principle, and do not worry about it.

You are told you lost your job. Why lose sleep and get irritated? It will work out. Use your worrying energy and time into finding another job. The plane is late; it is going to mangle your schedule for the day. Why take outpour frustration on the flight attendant? She has no control over what is going on. Use your time to study, get to know the other passenger. Why get stressed out? It will just make things worse.

Now you know the 90-10 principle. Apply it and you will be amazed at the results. You will lose nothing if you try it. The 90-10 principle is incredible. Very few know and apply this principle. The result? Millions of people are suffering from undeserved stress, trials, problems and heartache. We all must understand and apply the 90/10 principle. It CAN change your life!!! Enjoy…

So, did this small article change your perspective of live?

Ask anyone this simple question. “How was last year for you?”

The majority will answer in a negative manner. Mostly :- “the year sucked , not good!, very bad, so-so”

And the earlier answer will be followed by, ” At least this year will be a better one I hope!”

And these two answers, will be the same for ANY YEAR.

So, looking back at the years went by , was it that  bad to give a bad remark?

Whatever achievements you achieved ( taking a car license, buying a gadget, buying a car ) or nearly achieved ( still saving money to buy car,bought a lesser valued gadget,failed in car license test ) are because the actions and inactions of yesteryear. ( And vice versa )

So,rather than just “closing the chapter” , sit and look back at the achievements and yet-to-be-achieved issues ( do not call it failure,you are still trying ).

Analyzing achievements is as important as analyzing failure,for you can apply the same method you engaged in achieving something in the area you have yet-t0-achieve.

Last year I have failed to take car license ( yes i know , i still do not know how to drive!  ) . What you have failed to do last year? Will you achieve it this year?

12. This year I WILL SEE THE WORLD IN A DIFFERENT PERSPECTIVE. THIS YEAR BELONGS TO ME! THIS BEAUTIFUL YEAR BELONGS TO ME!

But we forgot to remember his disappearance day

Today, we remember how He come to Earth

But we forgot to remember how He left earth

Today,we remember how He lived among us

But we forgot to remember why He “left” us

Today,we remember HIM

But we forgot to remember his teachings.

Merry Christmas to all.

Lonely Man

Based on two true stories.

Story 1.

A begging blind  man. He is being being escorted around the city by his son. Rain or shine , day or night, his son will be with him. Protecting him from the unforgiving concretre jungle of Kuala Lumpur.

Story 2.

A rich old man in Damansara. All alone in his posh 10 Million Ringgit worth Bunglow. He is only protected during “working hours” for he has only his foreign maid and local driver to safe guard him.Where are his children you may ask? Busy trying to make more money!

Every night this old man goes to bed, scared. Scared of dying in his sleep. All alone. All alone in his big bunglow.

Take a break from you work.

Call your parents.

Just to check on them.

To secretly tell them,you still think of them.

Many Me By VIP

Not a Ferrari , just a mode of transportation – to bring  me from point A to B.

Not a high rise condominium,just a place to call – home

Not a million dollar pay cheque, just the enough money to spend – for my loves one.

Not 1001 friends, just few – to share my thoughts and feelings.

Not 100 years in this earth, just enough – to make my mark in someone’s heart.

Not even 24 hours a day, just few to spend with my loved one  :)

I love LRT . Don't you?

Complete title : Ten things you can do in LRT to make my life miserable!

1.  Cut in the queue. I love it when you do that! Really, who on earth queues when buying tickets? Right?

2.  Block the escalator so that I cant walk pass you. I love waiting behind you anyway. It makes me so special.

3.  Stand excatly where to LRT doors open. You are invisble man anyway! People can walk pass through you!

4.  Don’t let people to disembark! Push them back in! Bulldoze your way in!

5. Push me the door/wall. I love sticking to them like a lizard.

6. Don’t give your seat to the needy. You pay the same amount as they do. Why give them seats! Blah!

7. Is that a mobile phone? Ops.. Dumb me! I thought it’s a freaking Hi-Fi Radio. No, it was not loud at all.

8. You were talking on the phone? I did not notice it all. I never heard a thing ! really.

9. That was your nose you digged?  I thought you were digging Suez Canal!

10. I love when your kids run around me. I felt just like at a playground. And did you notice the glass window nearly cracked because of your daughter’s lovely scream. It was like a good music therapy for me.

So please do all these things to make Malaysia a better place to live

I love LRT. Don't you?

I would be committing a great sin if not to promote some of the various public transport services offered in great Kuala Lumpur. As I am a frequent traveller in LRT ( Light Rail Transit,if you do not know) , I shall give some “insider” tips on how to “spend your time wisely” whilst travelling from point A to point B

Read! , My all time passion – I enjoy having “quick” read through while spending few valuable minute from Asia Jaya to “every where in KL”. My favorite item – TIME Magazine. Just the good mix dosage of economics,politics and gossips! But RM9 just burns a big hole in my tiny pocket. Now a days end up I end up at www.Time.com !

Write(?) – OK, not as in write in papers,but as a handphone addict I use these “commuting times” to check my calendar for today’s meeting. Make quick notes on what to share in Facebook and Blog. I share tonnes of quotes in Facebook and Blog, most of them thanks to free time in LRT and Nokia 3120 Classic’s Note function.

Listen - To not only songs but podcast and whatever that you want to listen to. In my case,my mood depends on what I want hear to. Whether it will Yuvan Shankar Raja’s song or any good audio book depends on which side of the bed I wake up.

Ok, This is a bonus item. You can also switch off your brain and stare blankly outside and enjoy the view of KL.Relaxation is good sometimes Don’t over work !
